Microsoft says that the Xbox One S sold more than the PlayStation 4 in August in the United States, which is one of the biggest markets for console gaming.
They believe their marketing strategy was essential in claiming another top selling spot. „The Xbox One S is the only console on the market that is capable of playing 4K Blu-Ray discs, 4K streaming, and HDR.” HDR will come next week to the base PS4 and the PlayStation 4 Slim with the 4.0 firmware, and the 4K streaming will be possible with the PlayStation 4 Pro in November. Only the 4K Blu-Ray discs stay with the greens.
Xbox Live‘s usage also jumped by forty-two percent year-by-year. (Damn, it looks like 42 is the answer to everything after all…)
September will be a different situation: Microsoft brings ReCore and Forza Horizon 3 into the mix, while Sony launches the PlayStation 4 Slim in just a few days. Who will win this time?
